You would think


strangers alone in a foreign land
two outsiders free floating on a barge
adrift without connection

in a bubble outside their world
swept by the currents and the tides
they manage to find each other

all remains pure and lacks complication
where lines are clearly drawn
this way depth of friendship never sours




Inspired by movie “Lost in Translation”
